### 3/5 — Does not measure the wind

*2026-07-22, version 2.0.1*

This app gives the local forecast but does not actually measure the wind velocity. Turn it on indoors and it gives the same information as if you are outdoors. Where has reality gone?

### 5/5 — Incorrect directions

*2026-05-26, version 2.0.1*

Yesterday compass was way off, today works perfect👍🏼🤗

### 5/5 — Brilliant App.

### 5/5 — Easy to Read

I use Apple Weather. This app helps find wind info faster.

### 5/5 — Recommend

*2026-02-24, version 2.0.1*

This is a quick reference app. I do a lot of open fire cooking and I use it 5-6X daily to figure out where to place my wind breaks. I also enjoy the fact that I can check different places around the world for the wind speed and direction. Excellent quick reference . I would recommend.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-02-12, version 2.0.1*

Very accurate

### 5/5 — It Pays To Know

*2026-01-20, version 2.0.1*

I like to be ready for what is coming… Not just the snowfall, the rain, the sunshine, the limited forecast you get from most weather apps… Windometer takes me right directly to where I wanna go, and gives me days of information I wanna know! 
ThanX for a great app!

Fiable

### 5/5 — It is all I need

*2025-12-14, version 2.0.1*

Some Apps are overloaded with information I don’t want for General Aviation and Drone Flying .
Quick look at mean and gusting is all I need
